you can get the needed files from this directory: SA15OT.fits - starting fits OT file SA15OTfull.fits - completed OT fits file input.data - ascii catalog from wich SA15OT.fits is made headers.dat - needed to make OT fits file stsdas2objt.cl - script to format OT files fix_it_1.cl - runs other tasks for format OT files fmrgN20020413S0120_add.fits - SA15 I gmos image Here is how I made my OT fits file: tcreate SA15OT.fits headers.dat input.data This makes a fits table that is not in the correct format for gmmns I define the task task stsdas2objt = stsdas2objt.cl I load the gemini package in IRAF and then run the script: fix_it_1.cl This gets the formats correct etc. The in gmms I load the image: fmrgN20020413S0120_add.fits and then load the OT under the GMOS_MMS button and "convert OT fits to catalog" option. That should do it.
